That is amazingly not true. Killing Trak with 30-35 people all in the same guild isn't easy nor always successful, let alone random people. Organization is one of the hardest aspects of Trak, both guilds have great leaders. Not to mention having enough DPS (meaning most melee are rocking 27-41% haste and 250+ PR). Please find me 30+ people in EC with that going on. I'd even vote for letting your PUG try first just for pure FRAPS amusement.
P.S. I'm in TMO.

Heh.. seriously.. The 55+ toons, resist gear, and 26+% haste is SOLD in EC.

I mean, if you wanna give me pointers to tell the crew while we march thru juggs on the way there.. lets highlight.

1. ) position Trak properly
2. ) hide casters
3. ) shout / time AE
4. ) have everyone make their 'i are blind and poisoned oh noes!' hotkeys
5. ) etc. etc. etc.

hold on while i grab a napkin and some crayons.

If you seriously believed for a second no one else could kill the content, you wouldn't be falling over yourselves trying to down it the instant it popped. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

p.s. i was there the first few times that dragon was killed on live. in 1999.
/yawn.

I generally stay out of these threads because they're stupid, and I like you Bubbles but I don't think you know this encounter very well! You can't dodge the AE by hiding behind a rock or anything, so hiding casters isn't going to work, if you time the ae you're going to lose so much dps that your tanks are just going to die/get shroomed and you will lose (see positioning), and Trak doesn't blind on this server and never has.

Just sayin'! <3

I was always stuck AE healing / Curing 5 wizards, and we'd move as a unit. The bonus, of course, being that i literally only had to keep them alive till they were OOM and then i'd pick and choose who lived (cure) and died post fight like i was, indeed, God.

Obviously i wasn't advocating melee dps doing anything but taking poison like champs for the team. And their clerics are simply going to have to bounce between AE heals and DAs and not eff positioning while staring at the dragon's toes, yeah.

He seriously doesn't blind on here? that was the only amusing part of the encounter. And, of course, his only real defense against a zerg force.

According to a TMO member he was single target blinded. Supposedly it's supposed to be a 15' AE targeted cone or something? No one has bug reported it yet. Honestly the spell data describes the spell in a way that seems kinda funky but I don't dive into that all that often.

I didn't play the first 3 months of kunark or so, but I was told, and assumed it to be true, that a bug report was submitted and no response was ever given by the server staff. Not sure if this is true, but I agree, from what I've read and remember, it seems as though he should AE blind.

I peruse the bug forums regularly and never saw anything about it? Shiftin was apparently told to never speak about Trak again. By whom I don't know but he sure did post about Trak being a 3 day spawn for a long time. I suspect the devs got tired of it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In any case, http://www.project1999.org/forums/se...earchid=849127 brings up nothing. If it was a private tell or a petition it probably should have been a public channel.

If someone can come up with the proper data I don't see why it shouldn't be fixed, but it should be fixed correctly. I don't know what it is because I never owned a mana robe or any sort of melee BP, let alone went to VP when I played on live. I think I was level 30 something when Velious came out.
